Chapter 2

Lucy kept running, ignoring the shouts from the people behind her. Straight past were Spikes car was parked. The dark exterior almost camouflaged against the night. Spike caught up with her grabbing her shoulders and spinning her round to face him.

“What you gonna do love? Run all the way to the other side of town? Get in the car.” He spoke softly yet firmly knowing Lucy wanted to argue some detail with him, but she resisted the urge stepping past him and getting into the car.

The car ride was silent. Buffy watched the houses speed past trying to take in her surroundings. Many thoughts were crossing her mind. The niggling thought that her Spike and Lucy were now together was still pressing on her mind. Why hadn’t see gone to LA when Andrew had let slip about his return? Why hadn’t she gone and told how she felt? Why hadn’t she stopped all of this, let so much time slip by? She looked up from her seat in the back and caught his eye in the mirror. The boyish smile lighted his face and she gave a shy one back their eyes locking for just a moment.

“Put your fucking foot down bleached wonder, or I’m taking over and you know I cant drive yet!” Lucy’s eyes were like ice, he voice cold and harsh. He did as he was told, pushing the peddle to the floor for the last few minutes of the drive.

The car screeched into the drive, it hardly stopped before Kelly and Lucy dove out of the car tearing through the front door. Spike was close behind, Buffy following with the boys, not sure how to react to the situation.

“Sarah! SARAH! Where the hell are you?” Lucy screeched. A small 15 year old poked her head around the banister to the stairs, a puzzled look crossing her face.

“What? Why are you home early? And why are we screaming?” She walked down the stairs, a pile of laundry in her hands. “I was just clearing Luke’s bath stuff away.”

“No ones been here have they?” Spike asked taking the stuff from her arms. “No ones called? Been to the door?”

“Nope been quite here all night, well apart from the usually war between Luke and his bed, but I won.” She smiled.

“Ok then.” Lucy sighed, relief washing over her. “Here’s you money, I’ll call you a taxi.” She handed over the money and left the hall and her friends looking confused.

“Kelly…….” She was cut short by a stare that would kill.

“Go home and tell dad its started.” Kelly told her. Sarah just nodded and collected her stuff. She had been brought up with this her entire life, her dad had never kept it a secret.

Lucy came back into the room Sarah hugged her and smiled before she left and got into the taxi. Lucy glared at Kelly. “She knew too? How many others knew?” Joe and James raised their hands still looking puzzled. Kelly just smiled weakly.

Buffy had kept quiet watching what was going on from a distance. She felt like an intruder here. This wasn’t her life, though she was meant to save it. It was her job though she was feeling at loss of how she was meant to protect this girl from something she didn’t even know.

They all went to the front room. The silence ringing in their ears. No one knew what to say to Lucy, she was hurting and scared and unsure of her future. Buffy looked around the room. Everyone had began their own private conversations, leaving the girl curled up on the couch clutching her cushion, staring silently into the floor. She remembered that feeling from when she was first told she was the slayer. The feeling that no one could really know how she was feeling, the feeling of being alone in the world. Lucy got up and left the room, Spike moved to follow but he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Buffy smiled down at him and followed her out to the kitchen.

She entered as she lit her cigarette staring again blankly into the night through the window. Buffy stood by her leaning on the counter the same way. She just watched her for a few moments, contemplating how alike they both were really.

“Wanna talk about it?” Buffy asked watching the woman’s face.

“What are you?” Lucy asked not taking her eyes from the window.

“Me, I’m a vampire slayer. If you wanna hear the chosen one speech then just say, but I will warn you its long and very boring.” Lucy smiled at Buffy. “It basically means I have been chosen to fight the vampires and any other things that go bump in the night.”

“Oh, so kinda superheroish?” Buffy smiled and nodded. “And these things are after me because………?”

“Well your guess is as good as mine, I was just sent here to help save you, but it looks like you have your own champion already.” Buffy smiled weakly at her, jealousy creeping through her.

“What Spike? The guy who goes gaga over my 2 year old? Not really my definition of champion.” she laughed

“Well her did save the world.” Buffy laughed back “He really likes kids?”

“Yeah he does” Lucy began to leave the room, she then stopped and look Buffy straight in the eye. “Me and him aren’t together you know. He still loves you. Always going on about you. I don’t know the history or why you aren’t together, but I know he still wants you, and I think you want him to.” With that she left.

Buffy was dumbstruck. He stilled loved her. He still wanted her, but why hadn’t he come to find her when he returned? Her mind was racing, the thoughts of their life together were running through her head. Fat grandkids may be now on the cards.

Spike shook her from her day dream. Looking into those green eyes of hers made his heart melt. Buffy stared back watching the penetrating blue of his own melt her insides. Without warning Buffy pulled him forward and kissed him. It was passionate and wanting and also full of love. Lucy’s words still ringing in her ears. “He still loves you”.

It took Spike a moment to get his head around what was happening, but he began to kiss her back. Pulling her tiny frame against his, caressing her back as her hands wandered across his chest. Reacquainting themselves with his body.

“Ahem!” A cough came from the doorway. They broke apart looking into each others eyes and smiling before turning to look at Kelly standing there with a huge grin on her face, a mobile in hand. “So you aren’t celibate after all then.” she laughed. “Someone named Willow’s on the phone for you. She says she has information. Sorry I answered it but you were kinda busy.”

Buffy blushed and took the phone from her “Don’t worry about it………, Hey Willow what’s going on?”
